I have also designed and created office spaces within the home.
**I have done a variety of design jobs.
.
.

doing everything from painting almost every room in the home, donated or sold all of the existing furniture, art and accessories and totally upgraded/updated everything to smaller jobs; painted the bathrooms, including cabinets, and replaced faucets, shower heads/drains, shower doors, towel bars, light fixtures, all hardware and added new rugs, plants, towels, etc.
**Gone through garages, sheds, storage spaces and attics with 20 years worth of "collecting" and paperwork, some with boxes literally up to the ceiling and no room to walk.
.
.
and turned them into tidy, functional, accessible spaces.
**Managed many moves; helped lighten the load before the move by purging unneeded, broken, outdated/old items.
.
.
packed everything up, helped with the hiring/supervising of movers and cleaners.
.

Then thoroughly cleaned out all those spaces and the rest of the kitchen and put remaining items away in a rearranged/reorganized manner and restocked and purchased new items.
I am quite interested in helping locals with their airbnb/vacation rentals.
Both from the management aspect as well as the creation and design of an incredible, unique, organic, green space.
Houses, apartments, houseboats, sailboats, etc.
One of my all-time favourite projects was working with a client who rented a [500 sq.
ft.
] studio and had nothing but a bed, clothes, a mountain bike, a guitar and two paintings of his grandfather's.
I did a bit of painting, separated the sleeping area from the living space without cutting off the only light in the room, created a beautiful and fully functional combination dining area/extension of kitchen prep and storage area, created a small office area, organized only existing closets to accommodate both clothing and storage needs.
.
.
designed and FULLY furnished/stocked entire space, including: furniture, plants, art, rugs, lamps, silver ware, cooking utensils, towels, bedding, dishes, cookware, appliances, etc.
Everything you can imagine needed for a home.
I stocked kitchen with organic condiments and spices, bought earth-friendly cleaning products and laundry soap, stocked bathroom with soaps, shampoos, and other personal items, put a lovely door mat, Buddha and plants outside, at the entrance and even
bought a small Christmas tree and decorated it.
Whatever you need, within reason, I can help! I have a very intuitive approach to my work and love to dig right in.
.
.
to the challenge of balancing function with aesthetics.
My rate starts at $50/hr.
I am always willing to work with someone on the cost of my services, whenever possible.
.
.
everyone should have a beautiful home, a functional work space, a magical garden.
.
.
whatever it takes to make us HAPPY and ease some of life's stress and seemingly unending responsibilities.
We all deserve this and I genuinely experience joy from helping to create these transformations.
Thank you so much for your time.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Be well.
